Supervisor's Reason for submission: Melissa is unmatched in her responsiveness and is a multi-tasker. She monitors/manages three Most Efficient Organizations. She is very factual, professional and polite in her duties as a COR. She needs little supervision and when given a task or tasks, completes them very meticulously and in record time. This is just one of the ways I can show her how much I appreciate her being on my staff and for a job well done.

Commander's comments:  Melissa is one of my "go-to" people for any and all issues that may arise. She has a solid understanding of the entire CE vernacular and can relate to just about any situation. Most recently, she has established a voluntary brown bag educational opportunity for the CE squadron called "YouTube University" where cutting edge information is presented to improve or extend engineering knowledge of our personnel. - Mark McBurnett, 82nd Civil Engineering Squadron
